80 employers expected at massive Montgomery job fair

U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell announced that more than 80 employers from 10 industries will attend her 12th annual job fair from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Aug. 2 at the Multiplex at Cramton Bowl.

The event marks Sewell's largest constituent event of the year, according to a news release.

“One of my top priorities in Congress is creating an environment for job growth, wage growth and a better future for Alabama families,” Sewell said in the release. “That’s why my annual job fair is one of the most important events we host all year. This year, I’m thrilled to be bringing our job fair back to Montgomery, Ala. This event is about bringing opportunities directly to my constituents and empowering them with the tools they need to get ahead. I encourage anyone looking for a job or a new opportunity to join us for an exciting day.”

Sewell alternates between having the job fair in urban and rural regions each year. The job fair is free. She encourages people to pre-register for the event. People can pre-register here.
